Police said 200 to 300 bodies were found in the northeastern coastal city of Sendai. Another 88 were confirmed killed and at least 349 were missing. The death toll was likely to continue climbing given the scale of the disaster.
The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake unleashed a 23-foot (7-meter) tsunami and was followed by more than 50 aftershocks for hours, many of them of more than magnitude 6.0.

I've been sticking to this channel, so not sure what others have been saying. This one seems to have the best and most consistent coverage I can find on satellite TV.
It's very heartbreaking to think about.

Yeah, those that survived it are going to have it burned into their minds for the rest of their lives... But at least they have their lives, that is what is important.

1648 GMT: A tsunami "advisory" has been issued in Canada's western province of British Columbia. The government said the tsunami might "potentially produce strong currents dangerous to those in or near the water". It could "impact marinas and other coastal infrastructure or create strong currents in harbours and isolated coastal areas", the statement added.

1706 GMT: The Tokyo Electric Power Company has said the pressure inside the No. 1 reactor at its Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant has been rising, with the risk of a radiation leak, according to the Jiji Press news agency. Tepco planned to take measures to release the pressure, the report added. The reactor's cooling system began to malfunction after the earthquake. People living close to the plant were later evacuated as a precaution.
@BBCBreaking via Twitter said:
1708 GMT: Nuclear physicist Dr Walt Patterson tells the BBC it sounds like there is a "serious problem" at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant. "It's the sort of thing that nuclear engineers have nightmares about," he says. "If it is not resolved in the next few hours it will get serious. If the core is uncovered, then those rods at the top may get hot enough to melt themselves."
